What is STEAMS?

STEAMS is an integrated learning programme covering Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths, and Society. It focuses on real-world skills, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity through hands-on, project-based learning—not play-based, but purposeful exploration without rigid time constraints.

Students are immersed in engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, innovation, and independent learning.
